Hi all, I came across some discussions on fixing a botched *Linux* file system. Specifically someone did a massive 'chmod -R 755' / and asked how to restore the file system permissions.
In a similar vein, I would like to ask: Suppose I did a 'clean sweep' of a *Cygwin* directory permissions via 'chmod -R 755 /', or even by using Windows specific (non-Cygwin) tools like icacls.exe, or by using the Windows Explorer. Is there a way to restore the proper permissions to the Cygwin tree other than a reinstall. Thanks for your help.
